Introduction to Segmentation & Different Types of Segmentation

Segmentation is defined as an activity of dividing a broad consumer or business market, normally consisting of existing and potential customers, into sub-groups of consumers based on some type of shared characteristics.

Similarly in FirstHive, you as a Marketer can segment your users or Customers basis different parameters like Time, Data field, response to the campaign, product category, transaction value, frequency, and various other behavioral elements.

FirstHive segmentation module has three types of segmentation options as follows:

  • Rule Based Segmentation
  • First Party Lookalike (Beta)
  • FH ML Lead Segmentation (Alpha)

While creating basic segmentation, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Go to Data >> Click Create Segment 

Step 2: Select the type of Segment i.e., Rule Based Segmentation or First Party Lookalike (Beta) or FH ML Lead Segmentation (Alpha)

If you choose Rule Based Segmentation:

  • Enter a title for the segment.
  • Create Cohort for Who Does.

Segmentation

To start with, there is a further classification of Segmentation as follows:

Dynamic: This segmentation allows dynamic addition of new customers based on the rules applied while creating the segment.

Static: This segmentation allows the addition of only a fixed set of customers based on the rules applied. Thus, there is no increase or decrease in segment count once it is created.
